    2 different diff ratio's on a '99 from the factory?

    Thanks for the heads up CSP. Next time my wife and I are out at the same time, I'll reference it off of my wife's CRV and see how far off I am. Appreciate the FYI!

    My mechanic buddy opened them up and counted teeth.

    2 different diff ratio's on a '99 from the factory?

    I guess this will get chalked up to one of life's little mysteries. I didn't think Toyota would purposely build it that way, and I bought the truck from one of my best friends, so the shady questions are out. So I guess either someone took the time to swipe and swap diffs, or it was built on a...

    2 different diff ratio's on a '99 from the factory?

    Hey guys, Haven't been on the site for a year or so…hi again, Merry Christmas...anyways, picked up (rescued) a buddy's '99 SR5 (a year ago) that had been parked for 5 years and ended up in a weird predicament/scenario recently, and I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem...

    Which Winter Tires Are You Going To Run?

    I've lived in Whistler for over 20 winters now, (with a couple of winters in Northern Saskatchewan) and I've tried a bunch of different tires on a bunch of different rides, in all sorts of deep snow, compact snow, ice, slop, you name it, so here goes: Northern Saskatchewan = 5-6 months of...

    Buying a '99 that has been parked for 5 yrs...Any MUST DO maintenance before driving?

    Thanks for all the input guys! So as long as the brakes are functioning, the tires aren't square, and there aren't any mice living under the hood, I'll be taking the advice of draining the fuel tank as best as I can (with a syphon and empty jerry cans) and putting in 10 gallons of fresh...

    Buying a '99 that has been parked for 5 yrs...Any MUST DO maintenance before driving?

    So I'm buying a buddy's '99 SR5 5 speed T4R that has been parked for 5 years now up at his cabin out in the bush. Now it's not as bad as it sounds...it was maintained meticulously by Toyota Dealerships since day 1, never missed anything that needed doing, and before taking it up to his cabin...

    I really hate to do it, but my family is out growing the 4Runner and so I'm forced to sell and head into Suburban or Yukon XL land... Recently added was a set of Light Racing UCA's and a diff drop kit. Price is $42,900 CDN.

    lifted...any regrets???

    One man's opinion here, but don't waste your time with a spacer lift. The major flaws with a stock 4Runner are nose diving during braking, body roll/sway when cornering, a narrow stance, and crappy tires. Spacer lifts allow for bigger tires but don't help with the nose diving or sway/roll. A...

    Anyone gone with an Old Man Emu OME lift?

    Yes, OME 885/889 & Nitrochargers, no to after market UCA's.

    HEAVIEST load towed with 4Runner

    Reata, It's a North River Commander X, 21.6', 360 HP, bad-ass jet boat. It's actually belongs to my boss, but he lets me use it once in a while. Yes, it handles like a dream, does 180's on a dime, tops out at 45 MPH burning 10 gallons an hour, and only draws 4" on plane! It's heavy guage...

    Thanks Kingpin, I just laughed hard for a solid minute. Love Ron Burgundy by the way. The boat belongs to my boss, as does the plane, I just get to play with them. Thanks Isitme. I had just driven up to Whistler from Vancouver International Airport in one of the biggest snow storms of the...
